The student hostel is next to the university. Students have single rooms with own bathroom! The kitchen is shared with 7 persons on one floor. You live together with Norwegian as well as all exchange students of the semester - I really enjoyed living in "Hatleberg"

I stayed on after my study period (to work) and only then started to learn Norwegian. Speaking the language is a great advantage in submerging in the pleasant culture. Although nearly everyone is fluent in English, they tend to speak Norwegian to each other, even if foreign friends are present.

Learning Norwegian is not easy at all...but English is widely spoken and used, so international students managed our lifes in English, 5 months of Norwegian lessons (one hour per week) was not enough to try the languange with Norwegians...but knowing German helps a lot in understanding them!!!
The courses were dissapointing for me. Teaching method in Norway seems to be very old fashioned. They seem to be concerned only with theory rather than practical application. You will learn by heart a lot of models, your own opinion is not relevant for exams

More case studies and higher focus on practical issues. E.g. marketing teacher don't know a lot about real life business. They were always surprised about company examples as they never heard of such cases.. rather poor for a professor

Despite I never spoke Norwegian, it wasn't a problem for me. Almost all Norwegians speak english and everything on TV is in the original version. Also the movies in the cinema.
Neither at school because all my courses where in english as they belonged to an International Master in Business.
